I have tried using pyart library to map NEXRAD data. But I am now stuck at a time where I get this error:

I am now trying to use MetPy library. I have shared the details with Viral. Using metpy on the NEXRAD data, we will be able to generate plots for the following attributes,

300 hPa heights and winds 500 hPa heights and absolute vorticity Surface temperatures Precipitable water

for any particular day in the past.

This is another option that we have, we can also use the NEXRAD Level 2 data with,

https://unidata.github.io/MetPy/latest/examples/formats/NEXRAD_Level_2_File.html#sphx-glr-examples-formats-nexrad-level-2-file-py

but this is again followed by the same error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test3.py", line 20, in <module>
    ref_hdr = f.sweeps[sweep][0][4][b'REF'][0]
IndexError: tuple index out of range

I was successfully able to map reflexivity and velocity scans for any radar station and any date using pyart and metpy library. I was also able to save all the graphs to png file.

I am also trying to map reflexivity and velocity using pyart and metpy but there seems to be some error in the library since I am able to generate the plot but can't impose it on the respective state map.

Can you post your error here? I think, I had one issue, which I could resolve easily.

As we are done with the initial build of the microservices closing this issue, will open new issues with newer requirements in the future
